On the request of some fine ladies that have been visiting me for a number of years, the following recipe should make them happy.

First, make the butter milk ranch dressing you find in the grocery store in a packet.  You  will need one cup of mayonnaise and one cup of butter milk for the recipe on the packet .  Refrigerate so it can thicken and stay cold.

Boil 6 to 8 eggs.  Peel and mash like you were making egg salad.

Shred one pound of imitation crab meat in a large bowl.  I like mine small and it takes me a good ten minutes to do it unless I can talk my husband into helping.  Good job for the kids with cleaned washed hands.

Then cut up 1/4 to 1/2 cup celery and another 1/4 cup of green peppers.  I put a really small amount of peppers because I don’t like them a lot but you may prefer 1/2 cup.

Add the eggs onto the crab meat and throw in the peppers and celery. Pour in JUST ENOUGH  ranch dressing to get it wet but not mushy.  You will not use the whole amount you made, believe me. Try about half of it first.  Just toss the salad with two forks until you get it damp.

I also like to add some Nature’s Seasoning in it but that is not the original recipe.  I serve it with some Ritz crackers or you might like Saltines better.  It is good any time but it is a great dish to take to summer cookouts for the parents who prefer something other than hot dogs and hamburgers.

Hope you enjoy.  Thank you so much, Michelle for your continued friendship and devotion to the Lord.  Your sisters in Christ are just as wonderful as you are and that is saying a lot.
